      This was great, thanks, I have been researching "can you rebuild tooth enamel naturally?" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Ever heard of - Seyrooklyn Salient Supremacy - (search on google ) ? It is a good exclusive guide for discovering how to avoid the dentist and deal with your cavities naturally without the normal expense. Ive heard some awesome things about it and my work buddy got great success with it.

    Timestamps --
    3:13 - Rest/protect the injury, use cold pack and ibuprofen, don't stretch it.
    4:49 - Perform gentle range of motion routine, 3 times per day.
    5:57 - Perform light crossway massage on injured part, few minutes at a time, stop if it starts hurting, consider foam rolling lightly
    9:22 - Light walking and isometrics with exercise ball, 3 sets of 10, go easy and increase intensity incrementally every other day
    12:04 - Very light weight exercises like assisted, single leg box standups

      Sed Said yeah mine did the same thing it got completely better, so I thought until it felt really stiff and hard to straighten. I just rested and stayed off it for as long as possible and iced it. You can do heat or ice whatever feels best. I didn’t stretch because it hurt but walking helps when you’re comfortable with moving it

It's not the worst pain, I can still walk with a slight limp, and I can still bend my knee with no pain, but there is some discomfort when I straighten my leg out or if I try to bend over and pick up something.

Also... if you're having an increase in muscular injuries like I was, you might want to consider checking your cellular calcium and vitamin d. Both of mine were low and I'm sure this was causing stiffness in my muscles.

    Hello,
    My name is Faith Martin, and I am eighteen years old living in Southern California.
    I have been dealing with chronic body pain for almost a year now. I fell on a treadmill last early August and dislocated my pelvis/hip alignment and all of that. I thought I broke my hand at the same time however, so I continued to work out weightlifting like I had been doing before I fell on treadmill. Pain began to show up in lower left glue ham tie in/ischial tuberosity area, which I now know after seeing MANY doctors and a good PT that it is most likely hamstring tendonitis. The left leg butt/glute still flares up a little time and again but not horrible. I can usually deal with it with ice. As with any tendonitis, good PT and progressively challenging the muscle is essential. I have been doing that for about 3 months to address the left ischial tuberosity tendonitis and it has improved A LOT. Continuing issues however that I have been unable to resolve, and my current PT cannot seem to resolve, is chronic pain/muscle tightness/spasm in the right leg, which is quite odd considering I never directly injured that leg. Theories include incorrect gait walking due to pelvic/hip misalignment, hip flexor tightness, TFL tightness, IT band, the list goes on and on. I have tried every single type of therapy under the sun. Chiropractor, PT, acupuncture, electroshock therapy, massage therapy, percussion, etc. and my right leg continues to be tight like it is sore and I have worked my right quad to death. I also have chronic flare ups of neck pain/tightness, which is so bad some days that I have to stay in bed. No idea what causes it and it is nearly unbearable. Muscle relaxer pills/advil don’t help long term in the way that I need them too. I still feel pain even when I take them. I realize this is a lot of info and quite overwhelming but I just wanted to catch you up on my story and have you be able to get an idea about whether you can help me or not.
    Thank you for taking the time to read all this. Please respond, anything is appreciated. Do you think this could be a nerve tension problem (in terms of right leg)? Also, Within the past 5 weeks it has seemed to calm down and go away ish but I just went to the gym and tried to do old exercises but with like such low weight. how can I tell if my hamstring is just sore from a workout or if it is a tendonitis flare up? Thank you. I am all out of money to pay other PTs and all the other doctors… I am desperate.
    Blessings,
    Faith Martin

    I did the same thing! Only, I was sprinting outside. I was done, walking inside the building to get my bag and go home but I decided one more sprint..... I felt my left hamstring start spraining so I stopped real fast(not good). This totals 5 hamstring injuries. 3 on right leg, 2 on left. I’m a soccer player so it’s common. I’m currently in recover. Will try these exercises! Thanks for the vid

      Super Pulseadas Armwrestling lay on your back and bend your knees like your about to do a crunch. Then make a bridge by pushing your pelvis to the ceiling until your glutes and hamstrings contract. Do 3 sets of 10-15 reps. If you feel pain, just stop and rest. I’d recommend a foam roller as well so you can get rid of the knots in your hamstrings. Hope this helps man, hamstring strains are the worst..... keep in mind that if your hamstrings are over worked then other muscles like your abs and glutes and even lower back are not doing their job. I learned all this from these guys, years of experience with hamstrings, and most importantly “Athlean-x” on UA-cam. Search his videos, they are the best I’ve seen.

Due to never feeling a pop before I felt like I tore it but after 3 days , it's still painful but I'm walking better and the bruising is down so I believeits a strain . So hopefully this helps so I can get back into my routine 💪🏼👏🏼

      Everyone's recovery is different and unique. You can start increasing the intensity little by little. Just make sure to listen to your body and if things start to feel bad again, cut down. You don't want to prolong the injury.

    I had a bad experience with a deep tissue massage where the massage therapist tried to break up a big knot in my upper hamstring. I think he may have strained it due to the sharp, stingy pain I feel.
    I didn’t notice the pain much until I went to the gym and did some elliptical the next day and did some stretching. Now, the next day, I notice the pain regularly.
    I can walk but I have a bit of a limp. However, due to my public transit commute into the city for work, I cannot avoid walking all together.
    So my question is: how much walking is too much walking in those early days?
    Thank you!

  • @fabianoeua
    @fabianoeua 2 роки тому

    This video is several years old. There are plenty of new research demonstrating how antiinflammatories (e.g., ibuprofen) tend to slow down the healing process. Inflammation is an essential part of the healing process. Ice is good because it helps to reduce bruising and sweeping (and inflammation) to levels that do not impact the healing process negatively (whereas ibuprofen will stop inflammation for 6-8 hrs). Paracetamol (e.g., Tylenol) is ok, however, since acetaminophen are pain reducers and not antiinflammatories.
